Christopher,

Thanks for the message,  I believe that John Brown bought the brewery in about 1880 and only had it for about a year.  I think that after that, the family returned to Derbyshire.  I'll have a look at the familia web site, thanks again

Thanks Nicky,

I expected my John Brown to be born on the Isle of Man...
Maybe he moved there for the brewery?

Thanks again

My gt gt grandfather John Brown was a brewer employing 3 men at the Castle Hill Brewery, Onchan (1881 census).  I would be interested if anyone has any info on the brewery or the Brown family. 

Thanks

 :) Thanks very much for all that info!
I don't know if that's my branch of the Stockham family as I don't know much else about my James Stockham.  I have been struggling to find a record of John Stockhams birth so that I can find his mothers name... Any ideas?
Thanks again, that was a massive amount of info ;D

My gt grandmother, Eunice Brown, was born in Doulas, 2/4/1881.  Her father (John Brown, born about 1825 if the census is correct!) was a brewer at the Castle Hill Brewery, Onchan and on the 1881 census it states that he employed 3 men.  I understand that the brewery no longer exists, but I would be interested in any info on it.  I would also be interested on any info on the Brown family (Johns wife was Mary Ann Knipton).
Thanks

Monmouthshire Lookup Requests / Stockham Family

I am trying to find out any info on the Stockham family. 
My gt grandfather, John Stockham, was born in pont-y-pool in about 1862-3.  He married Eliza (Elizabeth) Ann Horley 26/4/1890 in Bedwelty and was living in Tredegar 1891-1901.  I know from his marriage certifcate that his father was called James and that he was dead when John and Eliza got married in 1890.  I would be really grateful if anyone could locate the family and let me know any info at all on them...  I would love to know more about James Stockham and the rest of his family.

Thanks in advance :)
Laura
